Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival: A Preview

This week sees the modern classical music world shift from its normal bases in the metropolitan capitals of the world, to a Northern English town for the 33rd Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.

Focusing this year on the work of Berlin-based Rebecca Saunders, the festival takes place from Friday November 19 to November 28 and takes in en route composers as well known as Michael Nyman and Brian Eno, to the more esoteric work of Dai Fujikura and Hans Abrahamsen.

(An aside – Dai Fujikura is working on some remixes of David Sylvian’s Manafon, which will be interesting to hear.)
